Ranveer Singh has officially entered Bollywood’s all‑time Top 10 cumulative box office earners, riding high on the smashing success of his latest release, Dhurandhar. The film’s strong performance has taken his lifetime tally to Rs. 1,731.51 crore from just 17 films, enough to place him at No. 9 on the leaderboard of top-grossing Hindi film male stars, ahead of Sanjay Dutt.
With Dhurandhar drawing in crowds across metros as well as tier‑2 centres, Ranveer’s cumulative box office has received a decisive push, allowing him to leapfrog veteran star Sanjay Dutt, whose 79‑film filmography stands at Rs. 1,718.73 crore. The achievement is particularly striking because Ranveer has managed to edge past a four‑decade veteran with less than one‑fourth the number of releases, underlining the high average earning power of his films.
Ranveer now finds himself in elite company on a list still ruled by Akshay Kumar, who leads with a cumulative Rs. 5,647.03 crore from 121 releases, followed by Salman Khan at Rs. 4,347.35 crore (66 films) and Ajay Devgn at Rs. 4,132.57 crore (96 films). Shah Rukh Khan, buoyed by the historic business of his recent blockbusters, holds the fourth spot with Rs. 3,902.47 crore from 62 films, while Ranbir Kapoor ranks fifth on the strength of Rs. 2,372.62 crore in just 21 outings.
Among the current generation of leading men, Ranveer’s entry into the Top 10 underscores how efficiently his film choices have translated into box office returns. With 17 releases generating Rs. 1,731.51 crore, his per‑film average stands comfortably alongside the likes of Ranbir Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan, who have 21 and 28 films respectively with lifetime tallies of Rs. 2,372.62 crore and Rs. 2,298.88 crore. Even though Hrithik and Ranbir still sit ahead of him in total collections, Ranveer’s swift rise suggests that a couple of more solid performers could see him closing the gap sooner rather than later.
Veterans like Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, with 70 and 31 films respectively, boast lifetime totals of Rs. 2,091.04 crore and Rs. 2,312.61 crore, but their film output in recent years has become more sporadic. In contrast, Ranveer has maintained a steady pipeline of big‑canvas entertainers and high‑concept projects, allowing him to build momentum with younger audiences while still appealing to the family segment that powers large‑scale theatrical hits.
Dhurandhar has proved to be a crucial inflection point in Ranveer’s career, much like Pathaan and Jawan were for Shah Rukh Khan’s recent resurgence or Animal was for Ranbir Kapoor’s box office graph. The film’s sustained performance over weekdays and strong word of mouth have pushed it into the upper bracket of Ranveer’s filmography, joining the ranks of his highest individual grossers and making a significant contribution to his cumulative total.
Importantly, Dhurandhar arrives at a time when theatrical performance is once again being closely watched as a barometer of star power post‑pandemic. Ranveer’s latest achievement signals renewed confidence from exhibitors and distributors, positioning him as one of the safest bets among contemporary leading men for large‑scale, crowd‑pulling cinema.
Breaking into the all‑time Top 10 is more than just a statistical win for Ranveer Singh; it reshapes the conversation around his long‑term standing in the industry. The numbers put him squarely in the frame for future tent‑pole projects, franchise extensions and prestige collaborations that hinge on proven theatrical pull. With Dhurandhar now established as a game‑changer and several high‑profile films on the horizon, the focus will be on whether Ranveer can consolidate this momentum and challenge the box office supremacy of his seniors in the years to come.
